Hello Phil.
You are correct about Organics.
Organic / naturally sourced should be fine, I say should be because we all have our allergies, some folk are sensitive to nuts as an example.
Things with ingredients like blood and bone, Molasses, sea weed kelp, bio stimulants which include sugar beet and condensed green waste should all be fine.
If applying via a spray then I would suggest have a "soak" period an hour or two perhaps.
As for granular, some of the products can cause staining and if licked then may create a poorly stomach, like when we have a bad curry!
Blood and Bone. Well when this is applied the dogs naturally go mental and I have had a couple dashing about the place tails wagging excitedly looking for big juicy bones!
No complaints from the Organic products as of yet.
If using a weed and feed some products are safe after a couple of hours. Personally a soak period of up to 24hrs is a logical approach. This method combined with the Organic / bio treatment warms to the customer when explaining about safe products suitable as the weed and feed is only used perhaps once a season hence the customer will not mind making an acceptation.
What are other people opinions?
Regards
hi-here is a useful link that might be of interest..i think also it might be worth considering straight fertilisers as opposed to the compound types. in a moss killer that has a combined feed it isnt the iron that is so harmful to pets and wildlife but the fertiliser could prove toxic. with a straight fertiliser at least it is easier to gauge what is and is not harmful.
